Today I did maths,  I struggled  so  Caspian , Mummy ,  and Mark  helped me  and I did  it in the end.

In  How  we used  To Live episode 4 for history, people, if they had nits, had to cut their hair short. But when I was little, when I had nits, mummy washed my hair with some special shampoo.

I did my yoga exercises when I finished my glass of water and apple this morning.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

Bye, see you again on Monday. xxx

 
Hi guys. What have you been up to? This is my room a before and after. These pictures are the opposite way round obviously. I do time-lapses. Time-lapse is a video thing on your camera and it made your videos much faster. So I did a video and it looked cool. Yesterday I tidied my dining room. I also did my usual work. That wraps today’s blog bye. Take care! By Orla.

 

Hi, Cas is back!

Today was mainly maths and spelling. The only non-daily lesson was history. In it we watched How We Used To Live episode 4 series 1 Hospital Case. I was asked to research a main thing in the episode. I chose Anderson and Morrison shelters. I will write my findings here:

The Anderson shelter was designed in 1938 and could fit 6 people in it. They measured 1.4 metres wide, 2 metres long and 1.4 metres tall. They were £7. It was named after Sir John Anderson, who prepared Britain for the air raids. The shelter goes in the garden.

The Morrison shelter was £7 as well went inside the house. It could not survive a direct bomb hit but could help with affects. It was designed to be slept in and used as a table

See ya tomorrow!

Tonight my mum showed me how to make spaghetti bolognese. I really enjoyed making it with mum. It was really easy to make and tasted really good as well. Here is the recipe.

500g of Mince

1 tin of chopped tomatoes

1 Onion

1 tea spoon of Tomatoes puree

1/2 a tea spoon of garlic puree

1 ox cube

Method

1. Brown the mince in the pan with a little oil. Also put a pan on with water for pasta

2. While browning mice chop up the onion

3. When mince is all browned drain of the excess fat/ oil

4. Add onion to nice and mix well.

5. Add the tomatoes puree and garlic puree and cook for a few minutes. Add pasta to pan of boiling water.

Dogs

• All pets can help peoples mental health, but dogs also help with physical health. There is lots of scientific research that shows people with dogs live longer healthier lives because dogs reduce their stress levels which lower their blood pressure and keep a more active than people who do not have dogs I got this from a recent Time magazine article see if you can find it on Google.
• Dogs are very helpful or as a cat will just ignore you.
•  Dogs can have jobs like guide dogs, search and rescue dogs, police dogs and sheepdogs.
• Dogs are good companions will sit with you when you are watching telly or reading things like that.
• Dogs can be very playful when you are on walks or just in your garden or even your house.
• Dogs partly depend on you so there will be better behaved around you.
• Dogs are more cuddly towards you. You will quite often find dogs that will sit on your lap and get lots of pats from you.
• Dogs are very easy to train compared to cats.

Cats

• They sometimes kill wildlife or scare it away did you know that cats catch up to 100 million prey every year over the spring and summer  27 million of which are birds.
• Cats throw up furballs around your house so you have to clean up.
• Have you ever heard the phrase dogs have owners cats have staff?  it basically means that dogs will respect you more and cats are only interested in you because you feed them and pet them
• Cats are also very difficult to train.
• You might say cats catch mice and rats but you can train dogs to do that too, for example Jack Russell’s were bred and often trained to catch mice and rats.

 

 Conclusion

I have had both cats and dogs but prefer dogs because of their loyalty playfulness and helpfulness so, in conclusion, I think dogs are much better than cats.
